Chip and Joanna Gaines, known for their show on HGTV, Fixer Upper, have created something that draws in visitors from all across the United States. Their time on TV will easily sustain them financially for their rest of their lives, but the couple strove to do more. Together, they created Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas. Magnolia is a gathering place by two silos. This Gaines' property holds a bakery, store, gift shop, and tons of outside seating as well as food trucks that line the perimeter. Magnolia brought in 1.6 million visitors just last year, and they employ over 600 locals.

The couple became famous throughout their years on HGTV which started in May of 2013. They weren't the first HGTV home fixers, but they are arguably the most famous. Other HGTV celebrities include Jonathan and Drew Scott from their show Property Brothers. As Chip and Joanna Gaines built up Magnolia Market, they were able to add on two more properties. One was a discount shop and the other is a restaurant. Magnolia Table, Joanna's restaurant, is known to have multiple hour-long wait times, but that doesn't stop hundreds of people from going every day. While customers wait they have the option of enjoying coffee and pastries in the well designed outside cafe. Upon being seated, Magnolia Table has a menu that is sure to wow anyone. Options such as summer salads, chicken salad sandwiches, and asparagus quiches are popular, as well as Chip's Burger.

Some of the restaurant's recipes can be found in Joanna Gaines' cookbook. She recently partnered with Target to sell some of her favorite home accessories. This partnership also helped her release her cookbook filled with her recipes and some from her and Chip's parents. Chip and Joanna Gaines have spread their empire far beyond the screen. Magnolia Market is a wonder and joy to experience. Even if you can't make it down to Waco, Texas, you can still find the Gaines' touch around the country.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
